Rain and Snowflakes in Stratford's Workweek Forecast

By Brian McCready

This week’s forecast resembles last week’s in some ways. Once again, we’re facing a mid-week storm but the good news is this one doesn’t appear anywhere near as strong as the one that left 90,000 Connecticut residents without power last Thursday.

And while temps will be warmer on average, we still have a couple of chances to see some snowflakes during the workweek forecast.

Here are the latest details from the National Weather Service:

Monday: Showers early this afternoon are possible with temps in the mid-50s, but also expect partly sunny skies at times.

Monday night: Clear skies with temps right around the freezing mark.

Tuesday: Mostly sunny skies with temps in the low 40s.

Tuesday night: Rain is forecast after midnight, it may start as some snow, too, and transition to a brief period of ice, but no wintry precipitation accumulation is expected. Temps will rise throughout the night and it will be plain rain after midnight. A half-inch of rain is possible.

Wednesday: Rain is expected to fall into the middle of the afternoon and winds could be gusty, reaching up to 30 mph in places. Another half-inch of rain is possible.

Temps will drop sharply during the day and then Wednesday evening there is a chance for some snow but as of right now no snow accumulation is expected.

Thursday: Sunshine with temps in the mid to upper 30s.

Thursday night: Winter returns as temps may barely reach 20 degrees

Friday: Chance of snow and temps near the freezing mark in southern Connecticut. Currently, snow is now forecast for Hartford and Tolland counties on Friday.

The weekend: Saturday, chilly with sunshine and temps in the upper 30s and Sunday, temps inch up higher into the low 40s with sunny skies once again.
